I tried to set up a trip in ABRP once again and it was a failure for me. I am going Phoenix to Tahoe, know where the good chargers are and where the bad ones are. So I manually entered the chargers I wanted to use as waypoints, each about 2 hours apart. I like more frequent short stops. Entered everything just like I wanted it, hit Plan in ABRP, and it completely redid the trip and included chargers that were either low power (50kw) or poor performing/unreliable (via Plugshare). I simply wanted it to use my selected chargers and then give me some SoC estimates. It even skipped RAN chargers in favor of EA and EVGO ones.
For me, Plugshare is better, in that it uses exactly what I tell it to, but it has no estimating for charge times or SoC at each stop. I can actually figure that out for myself. I have the trip all set up with Plugshare and will send that to Apple or Google maps on my phone.
Too bad we cannot have the best of both worlds. And the Rivian nav does not even allow entry of waypoints manually.
